The Mercantile Adventurers in Mid Sussex

Very nice coffee n lovely selection of cakes n bakes.. Vegan n mostly glutenfree place - yay..

Always a delight to pop in when I am in the area. Excellent vegan cakes, most of them gluten free as well when I visited! Staff are so friendly and happy, they make you feel very much at home. So lovely that there are products from local artists that you can also buy. Burgess Hill needs more independent shops like this!

Always a pleasure to visit. Great Vegan and Gluten Free food and drinks. Lovely staff.

Came across this independent gem whilst waiting in Burgess Hill. The staff (and customers) were absolutely delightful, and it felt like being with family. So fab to support local businesses, and everyone should pop in here. Great coffee, wonderful shop selling a variety of items and a little hair salon to boot!

Chanced upon this great place with lovely owner and all-vegan menu. It was such a treat to be able to choose anything I wanted from the excellent menu. My toasted sandwich was superb. I hope today was the first of many visits.

Very friendly service and absolutely amazing cake! What more could you ask for?

Exceptional service, and food was lovely. Definitely recommend!

Great little spot to visit, nice atmosphere, very nice staff, great drinks and snacks, well worth a visit. Highly recommended and will definitely be going again.

Had a great chai latte while waiting for a bus in burgess hill. Lovely venue with a shop and hairdressers inside. Didn’t have any food but it looked good. Staff and service were also great. Nice relaxed atmosphere, recommend.

The diamond of West Sussex! Fantastic independent cafe and retail shop, the best plant-based options from any cafe I've been to. Plus MUST SEE saxophone performances!

Oh my goodness.....I am so cross with myself for not visiting this establishment before now. The staff are lovely and my lunch (I had the coronation chickpeas)....wow!!!.... What can I say.....they were absolutely delicious. Thank you SO much for a lovely lunch. Am looking forward to visiting again soon. Highly recommended.

Lovely place! So amazing it's all vegan and the food was delicious! They were so lovely and accommodating to me and my little boy today ❤️ thank you xx

Lovely independent cafe with terrific smoothies, coffee and veg/vegan offerings. Great welcoming atmosphere, take time to enjoy the wide variety of offerings for sale.

Lovely vegan coffee house. We have a gluten free cake and oat milk coffee. The lunches look divine as well. I will try a lunch on my next visit.

Love love love this place! The food and cakes are exceptional and all totally vegan. The teas are wonderful and the staff so friendly and lovely. It's such a nice place to be. Really like the shop that goes with it and all the local products you can purchase. Love it here a lot!

Lovely vegan food and drinks on offer. Staff are friendly and chatting and definitely cheer me up on a dull grey Friday.

Great salon, very friendly staff, excellent coffee shop , with other finds inside, interiors, upholstery, jewellery.. a lovely find

Myself and my friend stopped in here for some light lunch, we had the superfood salad with falafel and it was amazing! Even got tiny dressing bowls so we could try each one as we couldn’t make our minds up! So welcoming, friendly and knowledgeable about their food and ingredients. We will most certainly be back!

In my opinion the Mercantile Adventurers is without doubt the best place in Burgess Hill. Well worth a visit for the wonderful welcome, great food and the variety of small businesses. There is a fab hairdressers, clothes and accessories, cards and unusual gifts for sale, upholstery and curtain making, coffee, cake and delicious vegan food. Everyone is so friendly and you'll be surprised what you'll find there!

Great assortment of small businesses 👏

We love this friendy, petite and independent cafe which offers delicious coffee, cakes, bread etc with vegan choices.

Really good, independent café with character and charm. Great food, good coffee and quality service.

This place is great for lunch! Definitely a hidden gem for burgess hill- we need more GOOD cafes like this ✨ (I got a falafel salad, mocha with oat milk and a slice of vegan lemon drizzle cake 😋).

Great coffee and incredibly delicious chocolate and almond vegan croissants. A few tables in inside, and a couple outside too. The shop is lovely to browse around too!

With out a doubt the best place to visit in burgess hill for so many different reasons!!! Always exceptional!, ❤️❤️❤️

We popped in to The Mercantile Adventurer this morning. We were warmly greeted by a lovely young lady, who we later learned was called Charlotte. My daughter Leah took a real shine to her and they exchanged some lovely chat. We were made to feel very welcome and ordered a hot chocolate, a ginger chai tea and a chocolate brownie, all

Great coffee with homemade cakes

A really interesting mix of home decoration items. But also sells excellent coffee

Lovely shop, cafe and salon! So many things to look at and great to pop in for a coffee!

Great atmosphere. Great coffee. Great unusual gifts and furniture.

Best coffee spot in Burgess Hill

Nice place to sit amd watch the world go by

A real jewel in Burgess Hill. As the rest of the town looks drab and boarded-up as part of the redevelopment, this place becomes better and brighter by the day.

This place is a miniature Aladdin's cave! Gorgeous kidswear, beautiful trinkets. A present buyer's paradise.

Love this place! Fab coffee, amazing gifts and wonderful atmosphere x

Popped in for lunch and had a fabulous tasty brie and bacon panini. Very friendly staff. Will be returning to try out the cakes and look around the independent shops set within the premises.

I popped in for a coffee with a friend and was sorely tempted by the delicious gluten-free chocolate cakes sold by the Simply Angelic coffee shop. The coffee shop area itself was cosy and there was a nice buzzy atmosphere from the other stalls. The coffee shop owner (Sharon) was really friendly and was particulary helpful to some elderly customers which was nice to see. I had a quick look around the other stalls and saw some beautiful things. Its good to know there are more options in Burgess Hill to buy presents. I can't wait to pop in again for a proper look (and for a cuppa)!
